There's no doubt Russia meddled in our election | PennLive Letters

Regarding the 2016 election and Russia's tampering with it, there is a difference between collusion and meddling.

The Trump campaign may not have colluded with Putin's Plan to defeat Hillary Clinton at the voting box.

Yet more than a dozen Russian agents have been indicted for interference in our electric by planting fake news through social media especially targeting three states, our own Pennsylvania included.

Consider this: If anyone says the flood of negative propaganda (innuendoes, outright lies) had no effect on the psyche of voters, you must say constant positive advertisement of merchandise does not persuade consumers to buy. Really?? If so, companies are wasting a lot of money.

Forty-eight percent of the voters rejected the fake news and voted for the most qualified candidate!

Yet 47 percent believed the lies and innuendo.

My hope is their eyes will be opened by the Mueller Report and join efforts to oppose Russian interference in future elections.

Hopefully our President will accept he doesn't have a mandate to continue to do as he pleases and begin to preside over all Americans as we continue to grow into the vision our ancestors wrote into the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
